GOVERNING BODY
Budgets & Audits & Financials
Oceanport operates under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The Borough form is often referred to as a “weak mayor-strong council” form. The mayor retains all general law authority, presides over council meetings and can vote in the case of a tie. The mayor appoints, with the advice and consent of council, all subordinate officers of the municipality. The council is the legislative body of the Borough. All executive responsibilities not placed in the office of the Mayor by general law or the Borough law remain with the council.
The Borough Council is comprised of six members, elected by the public in partisan elections for three-year terms of office on a staggered schedule, with two seats coming up for election each year. All members have equal power and may vote on all issues. The Mayor is elected by the public in partisan elections for a four-year term of office.

Mayor Tvrdik's Message
October / November 2024
Days are getting shorter, kids are back in school, Monmouth Park’s season has ended, and Summer’s End 2024 in Oceanport is now just another wonderful memory. Wonderful things happened this summer in Oceanport! It’s simply amazing how quickly the time goes by, especially in summertime at the beautiful Jersey Shore. Now the leaves are starting to change, and fall is upon us which also brings about a special time at the shore.
Summer’s End Festival was, once again, an amazing small-town event that ended with an even more amazing and big town fireworks display. Ask anybody who watched this year’s fireworks, and they will tell you they were the best ever. READ MORE....
